The winds of temperature change are blowing outside — at more than 35 mph.

The strong winds with a southwest flow will boost temperatures over the next few days.

At 1 p.m. at the West Michigan Regional Airport, the temperature was 45 degrees, though the wind makes it feel cooler, about 36 degrees. Wind gusts hit 37 mph this afternoon with sustained winds at about 25 mph.

Friday’s high will be 48 degrees with partly sunny skies.

Saturday will top out at 58 degrees with showers and a thunderstorm in the evening. Rain is expected Sunday with a high of 63 degrees.

The average high this time of year is about 48 degrees.

“The warm-up will not stick around for too long, however,” said Anthony Sagliani, meteorologist for AccuWeather.com. “Another powerful cold front will sweep across the United States, and replace the early fall-like temperatures with the chill of midwinter once again for the middle of next week.”

In Holland on Monday, lake effect snow will arrive that will last into Tuesday when the high will be about 36 degrees — about 25 degrees colder than Sunday.
